[nick crisp]

They were simply told to kill each other by their rich political masters – that was all.

Yeah, bloody politicians again! (and I ain't laughing).

UK population estimated at 45.4 million.  UK combat dead and missing in action ww1 – 744,000 UK total military deaths from all causes – 887,858% population killed military and civilian – approx. 2%

Well no.  Not as we know them today.  Politicians back them were strictly the ruling elite.

Pfft. They still say, "we know what's good for you", then proceed to do anything but. And they still take us into wars we don't want or agree with. I don't see much change.

Oh well, that's ok then. Take us into all the wars you want.

Gosh that reply #2778 was tasteless and bordering on the unhinged in places VNA.

I've no more to add to this topic except to say that I shall be paying my respects to all the allied fallen this Armistice Day.

I'm with you on that one YamFaz  ref 2778. and I'll add offensive to those of as who had relatives fight and die in both world wars. So think VNA before you post such an offensive post.

We are now a democracy.  And indeed after Tony Blair took the UK into Afghanistan and then Iraq - what did we do - we re-elected him.

What gets my goat is the way women wrap up the cords on irons, hoovers or anything with a plug on it. Who's ever tried to straighten out the cable on an iron ??? Me...I end up rewiring the bloody things.


They just won't be told or  :wall

I am sorry if I have offended anybody.  I find war offensive.  I detest the glorification of war.

And indeed, it is hard to find a family in the UK which has not been touched by war, and mine is no exception.

I'll leave it at that.

Its better than just leaving the cord unwound on the floor with the plug sticking up ready for me to tread on. My missus thinks its my duty to coil up the hoover and iron leads. Gets my foccing goat it does.

[Billy Balthorpe]

While i'm at it,


Some other stuff -


Bottles of shampoo left in the shower tray because my family cant be arsed to put them back in the rack


Wet towels strewn around the upstairs, and for some reason on my side of the bed.


Tops left off toothpaste tubes (Old one that)


People nicking my moisturiser out of the bathroom and not putting it back (dry skin on my legs see). I do get revenge though, i just go around turning all the lights on when they are asleep until i find it.


Not hanging towels up to dry.


Foccing lego all over the floor!!!!


Strictly come foccing dancing, X Factor, and any reality TV show.

[slappy]

[Dynspud]

You're sooo right there Slappy.
And then she says "We never watch anything together on TV any more"!!!  :lol

Candidates for elections. It seems that we are now expected to vote for people selected by their parties from female only/black only etc lists. How far do they go with this. LGBTG lists? Left handed lists? I think this cheats the population of the opportunity to select the best candidate.

The two main parties here have not fielded a male candidate for 25 years, and all apart from one have been absolute drips

Wedding/Birthday disco DJ's who only play records that they personally like and which no one else has heard of or can dance to.
